| The water treatment plant is still not up to snuff, it seems. Filter contaminated water through sari silk if possible, then boil and/or treat with chlorine to kill the Vibrio cholerae bacterium, which spreads through diarrhea and vomiting to contaminate surfaces and water supplies. |
The office of the governor said in a statement obtained by IraqiNews.com, "Tamini has arrived in Abu Gharib and held a meeting with the medical cadres and the officials in the district in order to follow up on the plan to face the Cholera disease," pointing out that, "Four women had died in the district, and 65 people were infected by the disease; 22 of them are at death's door."
